CT205 Public Relations Writing
Students learn and practice the skills necessary for success in the many forms of modern public relations. Students develop skills in researching, writing, editing, and recording for public relations through the study of and creation of public-relation tools such as annual reports, audio news releases, brochures, media alerts, media kits, news releases, opinion-editorial pieces, press releases, pitch letters, public service announcements, speeches, and video news releases. Students also learn critical-thinking skills by using audience analysis to target the message for the intended audience or public. Student work will result in a public-relations portfolio. Prerequisites: EN110/EN111 and CT201.
